IT'S BEGINING TO SMELL A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

Wednesday, November 28, 2012

I ventured into Michael's the other day to buy a Christmas Tree. We decided on a fake one upstairs and a real one downstairs. I managed to grab the last one that was on sale, but it was the display model and I had to wait for a gentleman to pack it neatly back in its box. So I stood in the fake tree aisle which unfortunately for me was next to the scented pine cone aisle. I have a few questions on this very smelly issue:

1. Why do you need to chemically taint a cone with extra smell?
2. Why does is smell as chemically nasty as a bleach factory?
3. Why does it have to smell so strong its induces headaches?
4. Have the makers of said smell ever actually caught a whiff of real cinnamon? I can only assume, NO!

So if you wish for your house to smell like a toilet and like your eyes to water due to chemical exposure and enjoy smell induced headaches, by all means adorn your house with cinnamon scented pine cones- they are just great!
